There is loads to do everyday: start my webshop, organize my bills of last year, do groceries, vacuum my house. But I'm still in a slow-mood. I end up spending hours listening to music, drinking coffee or chatting away with people at the stable. Instead of being efficient in a dutch way I still linger my life away indonesian style and I'm loving it.

This is a picture of a house in Nicaragua, I think. Im not organized enough to put all my pics in books. Well sometimes I'm. From some trips all the pictures are nicely organized in big books, dates, places mentioned. I never take these books out to look at them. My plastic box on the other hand, full of random pictures, pieces of paper and letters is such an inspiration. Once in a while I take the box of my shelf and spent a whole evening looking at everything thats inside. Reading old letters and postcards. Lovely to read the words my loved ones once wrote me, and pics of mountains or waterfalls take me back to places I've been before.

If you are interested in receiving this envelop and postcard, please send me a mail. Im more than happy to send you one. (info[at]stadsgiraffe.nl) All we receive in the mailbox these days are bills and tax-letters. So brighten up some-ones mailbox with one of those. Or with another nice letter or postcard, if you like. And isn't it much nicer for the mail-man too to deliver happy mail instead of tax-letters?

An indonesian package. One of many beautiful pieces of paper I collected during my travels. The tea wrappings are my favorite, I will post them soon. This is a package for a tiny amount of dye for dying cloth.
